To the tune of “Farmer in the Dell”:
Bad karma in my Dell….
Bad karma in my Dell…
Oh no, more hysteria…
Bad karma in my Dell.
I am forever amused at the issues I have had with my pricey Dell computer. Just when I think it cannot…no way….get any worse. It out does itself. I thought the expensive monitor acting up was the last straw. I thought NO way, no how… could I have more issues. Other than it just imploding upon itself – or me taking a flame thrower to it – it cannot….CANNOT keep messing with my mind. Let alone….my business!
But now…
Hilariously….
It will not shut off.
Nope….it’s like it’s saying…..”Screw you lady. You’ve done nothing but talk bad about me. I realize I’m a loser of a computer….and I realize you lost a crap load of money by buying me – but ya know what….I’m not even going to shut off now. I’m going to haunt you woman. Haunt YOU!! You will hear the jet engine like hum of my innards cranking for eternity. Defy me….go ahead….unplug me…I will still keep running!! You will never be rid of my sucky ass performance. Not even when you finally save up another $4000 to replace me and my evil counterpart Monitor. NEVER!!”
For the last couple of nights….this thing will not shut down. It just says….”Windows is shutting down….”
OK….
I understand Windows needs to shut down. That’s fine. But what are we talking here?? Days? Weeks?
I really don’t care if this is a hardware issue….a software issue…..an operating system issue. It stills falls under the category, “Dell Sucks”.
After 15 months of absolute despair – Dell wins.
I surrender. I absolutely give up on this damn thing.
It’s useless. The Gold Warranty is useless. The tech support is useless.
Who is building these things? Gremlins?? Did someone take a peanut butter and jelly sandwich break when they were building this one? I like a good PB&J myself – but what the freak? Did the person just check out totally?? Did they forget to test it? Or was it like kids building stuff out of legos? “Errr….that looks right I guess…I mean….what the hay….quality control is ran by chimps and they are on a banana break anyway.”
This Dell computer and Dell monitor cost me $4000. That’s $267 a month for the 15 months I’ve owned it.
Can you believe that? I’ve actually PAID $267 a month for the last 15 months to be put threw hell. INCREDIBLE.
Child birth was like a soothing vaginal massage compared to the pain and agony that this DELL experience has been.
CHILD BIRTH WAS LIKE A SOOTHING VAGINAL MASSAGE IN COMPARISON!!! I AM NOT KIDDING.
(My husband told me to take the word “vaginal” out of this post…but no….I’m not going to. I seriously need to make my point. I think ‘vaginal’ pretty much gets it across. Don’t you??)
It helps to know I’m not alone…

So fine….the damn thing won’t shut off now. I’m unplugging it. Whatever….
Will it ever crank on again?? Probably….with the voice of Satan emitting from the hardrive. “How dare you shut me off?!! I am ALL powerful. You will continue to feel my wrath. I have many, many more error screens to torture you with. Weep and wallow in the sorrow that I bring to your life. I find pleasure in it right down to my smallest fuse and resister.”
I swear….I wonder sometimes if this isn’t some kind of reality show focused on breaking people….bringing them to their knees in frustration. Are there cameras hidden around here??
I’m spending most days on my HP laptop for now. I actually get stuff done and without the errors, blips and parade of issues.
Mark my words….one day I will save up the money to replace this Dell. I will dance like a child….I will shout at the top of my lungs with joy. It will be a grand day indeed.
Until then…
I will keep reviving this sucker. CPU CPR.
Making up little diddies doesn’t hurt either 
Altogether now….
Oooohhhhhhh……
Bad karma in my Dell….
